729, Seven or eight machine guns are gathered here
29-34
After the meeting, Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng caught up with Brigadier Zhang Lingfu on the muddy village street.
Chen Zifeng first introduced himself: "Sir, I am from the war zone..."
Brigadier Zhang said succinctly: "I know who you are! Commander Zhao introduced you. Just tell me what you want!"
"Sir, are you going to Zhanggu Mountain tonight?"
"yes!"
"I hope to go up the mountain with the commander!"
"You really have such courage!" Brigadier Zhang asked sternly.
"Sir, we still have some courage!" Chen Zifeng's temper was aroused by Chief Zhang!
"I have heard about your observation team! I don't know if it's true or not!"
"Sir, don't worry about the legend. You will know it tomorrow morning!"
Brigadier Zhang Lingfu stared at Chen Zifeng coldly for a moment, and then said: "At two o'clock in the evening, the troops will gather on the west side of Zhanggu Mountain! If you want to come, then come! If you can't see me at the bottom of the mountain, you'll see me on the mountain!"
Chen Zifeng stood at attention and saluted him, "Yes, sir, I can't see you down the mountain, but I'll see you on the mountain!"
29-35
In retrospect, the attack organized by Brigadier Zhang Lingfu was unexpectedly weird!
Six members of Chen Zifeng's team arrived at the west side of Zhanggu Mountain on time at two o'clock in the morning.
Their truck was parked at the entrance of the 51st Division. Chen Zifeng specifically told the sentry at the door to pay more attention to the truck because it contained weapons and ammunition. The sentry nodded to reassure him.
In the darkness on the west side of Zhanggu Mountain, there were four hundred people in the death squad organized by Brigadier Zhang! They gathered densely in the forest. No one of them spoke, they just waited in the darkness.
They all had a white towel tied on their left arm as a way of identifying themselves.
Chen Zifeng whispered to the brothers beside him: "Please follow me and don't get separated!"
The gathered soldiers suddenly started to move, following each other and quietly moving up the mountain.
There was an officer in front waving his hands to the left and right, and the soldiers dispersed to the left and right and continued to move up the mountain.
The west side of Zhanggu Mountain is indeed a bit steep. Although the rain has stopped, the ground is still very muddy. The soldiers tried their best to step on the grass, holding on to the branches with both hands, and climbed up with difficulty.
Someone accidentally slipped and fell, and the person next to him whispered: "Don't make any noise! Be quiet!"
It was just a hill over 200 meters high, but it took them two hours!
Following the officer's gesture, all the soldiers lay down in the grass and looked ahead and around with wide eyes.
Only Brigadier Zhang at the front could clearly see the situation in front of him!
The Japanese soldiers hugged their rifles and curled up in the trench to sleep. But near the position, there were several sentries patrolling the hillside. They were very vigilant!
Chen Zifeng's group gathered behind a small forest. They could not see anything and could only wait quietly.
29-36
When the east gradually turned white, a dull sound of artillery and a long whistling sound suddenly came from the distant mountains, and the artillery shells exploded on the position!
Then, the sound of artillery became intensive and exploded continuously on the position.
The Japanese soldiers all jumped up. They looked outside and quickly squatted down again, waiting for the shelling to end!
Brigadier Zhang stared at the Japanese soldiers in the position with his eyes wide open. Now is not a good time to attack! He still has to wait!
Ten minutes later, the shelling by the National Army gradually ended, and a large number of National Army soldiers rushed up the hillside.
The gunfire on the position suddenly became fierce! The machine guns poured out bullets like a heavy rain! Countless guns flew through the air, like a flock of frightened birds! In the cloudy weather, the explosions were like firecrackers!
The soldiers of the national army panted heavily and ran up the mountain with their backs bent!
The Japanese soldiers on the mountain were shooting in an orderly manner, as if they were conducting a drill!
At this time, Brigadier Zhang picked up his rifle, waved his hand forward, and rushed over first!
Those lurking soldiers are already impatient! If they wait any longer, they will go crazy!
They jumped up from the darkness silently and rushed towards the Japanese position! Under the half-dark sky, all they could hear was a muffled thunderous running sound!
Until they were very close, their guns were thrown over like raindrops! Then, the rifles and machine guns in their hands were like loudspeakers that suddenly turned on, and they started shooting earth-shatteringly!
The Japanese soldiers guarding the trenches were defenseless!
They were stabbed in the chest by a bayonet that suddenly appeared in front of them! They were hit in the head by bullets fired from close range! The Japanese soldiers who had just jumped up and were about to flee were hit in the back by a heavy gun!
Those Japanese soldiers who were not yet dead were frightened by the black evil god who suddenly appeared on the battlefield. They screamed, climbed out of the trench, and ran quickly to the back of the mountain!
In just five minutes, Brigadier Zhang's troops occupied Zhang Gushan's position!
At this time, the national soldiers charging head-on had just arrived at the top of the mountain!
They cheered, jumped, and began to clean up the battlefield!
The soldiers of the national army did not want to go to trouble. They simply shot the wounded Japanese soldiers who were not dead yet, and then collected the weapons on the position! For every gun collected, the officers were rewarded!
29-37
Only ten minutes later, before the positions were cleared, the Japanese troops behind the mountain began a counterattack!
First there was a shelling! At the same time there was heavy shooting from machine guns!
Before the gunfire and shelling ended, a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain! Fiercely shooting at the Chinese soldiers!
The Japanese counterattack was so fast that the Chinese soldiers who had just occupied the position were caught off guard! Many soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and more soldiers had no choice but to retreat down the mountain!
Zhanggushan was occupied by Japanese troops again!
29-38
Chen Zifeng's team was in chaos and had to retreat! They were very angry! The position was not warm yet!
The retreating national soldiers did not bother to turn around and shoot, so they could only retreat in a hurry!
Xiao Ancheng, who was retreating, suddenly pulled Chen Zifeng in a hurry and asked him to look eastward.
They all saw a dense grove on the east side, in which national soldiers were waving to them.
Chen Zifeng called to his brothers and quickly rushed into the small woods!
After they rushed in, they saw that there were hundreds of national soldiers gathered in the grove. They were holding guns, crouching under the roots of the trees, and looking out warily.
A captain officer gave Chen Zifeng a hand, and even said with a happy smile on his face: "Sir, there is no need to run down the mountain, let's just wait here!"
Chen Zifeng looked at him in surprise, "Why?"
The captain officer smiled and said: "Our brigade commander Zhang is a desperate man! In a few minutes, he will organize a charge! We wait here, and when the gunfire rings, we will charge up, and we will save a lot of unnecessary travel.
!Save your energy!”
Chen Zifeng whispered: "You have been like this these past two days, right?"
The captain officer said: "In the past two days, there have been at least a dozen tug-of-wars like this! It's easy to rush up, but we can't fucking hold on! As soon as the Japanese army counterattacks, we have to retreat! Damn, we are just bastards
!”
Chen Zifeng turned his head and looked at Xiao Ancheng beside him.
As soon as their eyes met, they understood that they were thinking about the same question: why was the Japanese counterattack so fast?
29-39
Just as the captain and company commander said, the furious Brigadier Zhang had already reorganized his team before he retreated to the bottom of the mountain! He fired his pistol, and the troops turned back and went up the mountain to launch a counterattack again!
The artillery units seemed to be familiar with this situation. The bombardment started at the same time!
They looked at the mountain through the scope. When the Nationalist soldiers were approaching the top of the mountain, their artillery fire would extend back.
At this time, the national soldiers hiding in the woods were just in time. As soon as they saw the artillery fire extending, they quickly rushed out of the woods and rushed to the top of the mountain! The speed was amazing!
In Xiao Ancheng's view, they were actually waiting for work!
As soon as the shelling began to extend, this group of Chinese soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain and beat the Japanese troops who were not yet firmly on their feet!
Several people in Chen Zifeng's team were like killers! They squatted on the ground, raised their rifles, and aimed at the Japanese soldiers who were still trying to resist. They shot almost one by one! Every shot was missed!
The captain and company commander shouted to Chen Zifeng: "Good marksmanship! Brothers! You shot so well!"
The troops led by Brigadier Zhang rushed up the mountain again!
The two thieves, Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng, did not care about the guns and ammunition on the ground. They stood behind the top of the mountain and tried their best to observe the Japanese army.
The Japanese army is in the forest opposite. Although it is far away, you can still see through the dense branches that the Japanese troops are organizing their troops and preparing for another counterattack!
They were all confused. This distance was enough for them to run for a while!
At this time, Xiao Ancheng paid attention to a small forest on the east side behind the mountain! This small forest was in the recess of the mountain, separated by a small ridge, which was the small forest they were squatting in just now! The geographical location was exactly the same!
Chen Zifeng used a telescope to observe the grove. Damn it, there is a Japanese army hidden in the grove!
He turned back and rushed to Brigadier Zhang, handed him the binoculars, and asked him to observe the small forest!
Brigadier Zhang only looked at it for a few seconds, then turned around and shouted: "Machine guns! All the machine guns are here! Quick! Beat me in that small forest! Beat me hard!"
Seven or eight machine guns gathered together and fired wildly at the small forest!
The green grove turned pink in the blink of an eye, as if countless people's blood was shooting into the air, dyeing the leaves red!
Some Japanese soldiers who were still alive escaped from the woods.
Brigadier Zhang didn't care about anything, swung his pistol and shouted: "Come on me! Rush over!"
The Chinese soldiers no longer waited for the Japanese counterattack! They attacked inward to expand their victory!
That afternoon, Brigadier Zhang led his troops to occupy Serge Street!
This is a small mountain village, which was originally Commander Xue’s next attack target!
29-40
In the evening, when Chen Zifeng's team returned to the headquarters of the 74th Army again, they learned that Commander Xue had issued a new order to attack across the board! The 106th Division was compressed to the smallest area to prepare for the final general offensive!
Colonel Zhao was also at the military headquarters, seemingly waiting for their arrival.
